As expected, with the fiscal headwinds fading and monetary headwinds (falling credit growth till 1HFY26) becoming tailwinds (credit growth accelerating), GDP growth is surprising on the upside, and should help push up consensus trend-growth estimates to 7%-plus. That is, with a neutral fiscal and monetary policy, the economy should still register 7.5% growth.
In this light, I was shocked to see the ill-educated and egregiously wrong claims made by some that if the 'original' base of June-2025 quarter was used, growth in the June-2026 quarter would be much lower.
The new series introduced in Feb-2026 cleaned up the data and also significantly improved the methodology. For those who track this for a living (and I used to be one such till 45 days ago) - the downward revision in the base was known in March (see our note published on 1-Mar):

As our note acknowledged, the new series increased credibility of estimates of real output.
That claim is so obviously wrong that several logical rebuttals have already been made. But bad information tends to travel further than good information, and so it is important to reiterate and reinforce the argument.
That such claims got traction is itself surprising, given that easy-to-track and not-possible-to-fudge indicators of economic activity have been so robust. While June-quarter data was strong, that momentum has picked up:
- personal vehicle (cars, SUVs) dispatches grew 35% YoY in August despite just 9% growth in exports. Even two-wheeler growth is now >20% (though helped by strong exports).
- And if that was consumption, commercial vehicle dispatches grew >40%.
- tax collection growth has picked up meaningfully. This is as real as it gets.
- Credit growth continues to surprise on the upside (albeit on a low base). Last year most believed the then-weak credit growth was a demand problem, whereas we steadfastly stated it was a supply issue - it has for now been addressed.
- indicators of construction are robust.
Hopefully, now there will be fewer people asking "why private sector investment is weak," given that there is clear evidence of investments.
That said, there is still slack in the economy, as seen in weak real-wage growth. It may take several quarters of above-trend growth for that slack to tighten, and bring back sticky inflation pressures.
Our intern "claimed" he put in 3 weeks, 40 cups of chai, and endless research to document Rahul Gandhi's achievements (we know, we know what you're thinking - just hear us out) on a new website.
We told him it’s a masterpiece of total transparency!

@RahulGandhi you will get what you serve
राहुल गांधी महिलाओं के अधिकारों के पैरोकार होने का दावा करते हैं, लेकिन उनका आचरण एक अलग कहानी कहता है। महिलाओं के अधिकारों का मुद्दा आते ही उनका निशाना बार-बार हिन्दू धर्म बन जाता है।
म��ुस्मृति को हिन्दू समाज की सर्वमान्य और बाध्यकारी धार्मिक संहिता बताना ही गलत है। वहीं, शरिया इस्लामी न्यायशास्त्र का एक महत्वपूर्ण आधार है। फिर दोनों को एक ही तराजू में रखकर केवल हिन्दू धर्म को कटघरे में खड़ा करना कैसी निष्पक्षता है? यह महिलाओं के अधिकारों की लड़ाई नहीं, बल्कि चुनिंदा राजनीति है।
हिन्दू धर्म की सबसे बड़ी ताकत उसकी आत्मसुधार की क्षमता रही है। समय बदला, समाज बदला और हिन्द��� समाज ने भी अपने भीतर सुधारों को स्वीकार किया। यही इसकी जीवंतता है।
लेकिन राहुल गांधी से एक सवाल है- यदि महिलाओं के अधिकार वास्तव में उनके लिए सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता हैं, तो शरिया के तहत मौजूद पितृसत्तात्मक और भेदभाव��ूर्ण प्रथाओं पर उन्होंने उसी स्पष्टता से कितनी बार सवाल उठाया है? उत्तर है- कभी नहीं।
कांग्रेस का इतिहास भी इस सवाल से बच नहीं सकता। शाह बानो मामले में सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के फैसले के प्रभाव को पलटने का निर्णय क्या महिलाओं के अधिकारों के पक्ष में था?
तीन तलाक के खिलाफ कानून का विरोध क्या मुस्लिम महिलाओं के समान अधिकारों की लड़ाई थी?
और कर्नाटक में कांग्रेस सरकार के मंत्रिमंडल में एक भी महिला को स्थान न मिलना- क्या यही महिला सशक्तिकरण है?
इसलिए राहुल गांधी के सामने एक सीधा सवाल है: यदि महिलाओं की समानता वास्तव में राजनीति से ऊपर है, तो क्या वे एक ऐसी समान नागरिक संहिता (Uniform Civil Code) का स्पष्ट और बिना शर्त समर्थन करेंगे, जो धर्म की परवाह किए बिना हर महिला को समान अधिकार और समान कानूनी संरक्षण दे?
महिलाओं के अधिकार किसी धर्म के आधार पर ��लग-अलग नहीं हो सकते। न्याय भी चुनिंदा नहीं हो सकता।
अब राहुल गांधी को तय करना है- वे सच में महिलाओं के समान अधिकारों के लिए खड़े हैं, या फिर महिला अधिकारों के नाम पर केवल हिन्दू धर्म को निशाना बनाते रहेंगे?

Arun Jaitley’s speech during Rafale debate is one of the best counter attack India has seen.
This speech single handedly turned the table on Congress vicious Rafale Campaign
Rahul Gandhi is NO champion of women’s rights. He is simply a Hindu baiter, using the cause of women’s empowerment as a convenient smokescreen to target and discredit Hindu Dharma.
Consider this: how many times has he spoken with the same outrage against patriarchal and medieval practices that persist under Sharia ? NEVER.
While Sharia is foundational to Islamic jurisprudence, Manusmriti has no comparable scriptural authority in Hindu Dharma. It is not even a universally binding code for Hindus.
Yet ask yourself: how many times does Rahul Gandhi attack the Manusmriti, and how many times does he attack Sharia with the same fervour?
The enduring strength of Hinduism lies in its unique ability to evolve, reform and adapt with time- as it has for millennia, and as it will for eternity.
Every Hindu must therefore ask: what is Rahul Gandhi’s real intent- championing women’s rights, or using them as a pretext to malign Hindu Dharma?
Cong rhetoric on women’s rights rings hollow when measured against its own record.
They betrayed our mothers and sisters by reversing the effect of the Shah Bano judgment.
It opposed the law against Triple Talaq. And just to cling to power in Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi ensured that not a single woman found a place in the State Cabinet.
So here is a simple challenge to Rahul Gandhi:
If women’s equality truly comes before politics, will he unequivocally support a Uniform Civil Code that guarantees equal rights irrespective of religion?
Or will his idea of “women’s rights” continue to begin and end with attacking Hinduism?
Meghalaya:- Presbyterian Church's so called student outfit I.e. Khasi Students Union, KSU has long history of violence against non Christians! Recent violence against non Christians in Shillong was just another incidence of brutality!
LRO has written National Human Rights Commision to send high power inquiry team to investigate violence against women, kids and elders during Shillong rally.
We have also written a letter to HM @AmitShah Ji and Home Secretary to order @NIA_India probe of the KSU violence and to investigate a role played by DGP @MeghalayaPolice and East Khasi Hills SP in promoting KSU goons and for failing to protect lives and properties of innocent civilians and tourist who came under brutal attacks of KSU. @narendramodi@PMOIndia@HMOIndia@India_NHRC@KanoongoPriyank@Iyervval@abhijitmajumder
